Huber Heights council votes to go into executive session for planning commission appointments, reports no decisions

The City of Huber Heights City Council voted 5-0 on Jan. 15 to enter an executive session to discuss personal matters and appointment issues related to planning commission interviews; the council later reconvened and said no specific decisions were made.

Council members moved into the closed session after a motion and second on agenda item 2(a). During roll call, five members voted yes: Miss Baker, Mayor Gore, Missus Kitchen, Mister Webb and Mister Davidson. The presiding official announced the motion passed 5 to 0 and the meeting moved into executive session at 5:34 p.m. The council returned from executive session at 7:57 p.m., and a speaker on the record stated, "no specific decisions were made this evening, regarding the next, the next meeting agenda." The work session was then adjourned.

The item on the agenda was described as an executive session for "personal matters and appointment issues for the planning commission interviews." No interview details, candidate names, appointment actions or other substantive deliberations were recorded in the public transcript, and the council explicitly reported that no final decisions were reached during the closed session.

Because the exchange involved a personnel and appointment matter, the substantive deliberations occurred in closed session and are not reflected in the public record beyond the motion to convene and the post-session statement that no specific decisions were made. The meeting opened as a City of Huber Heights City Council work session and was called to order on Jan. 15, 2025; the adjournment followed the return from executive session.
